What a save from Gazzaniga! The Spurs keeper somehow manages to get his hands in front of a Milivojevic header by the far left post and clears it away in a cluttered box. Play is briefly stopped too - Sakho and Son clashed heads in the box, and the latter looks woozy.

3'
Schlupp's effort comes to nothing as Rose sees it away but Palace bring it back in from the left with a lofted cross for Sakho. He doesn't make the connection and goes down awkwardly too - appeals for a penalty are waved away. Early pressure from the hosts.

Hello, and welcome, as the weekend winds down, to another Sunday of 2017/18 Premier League action as Tottenham look to follow up their stunning victory against Real Madrid in midweek with a win at Wembley against rock-bottom Crystal Palace. The Eagles are yet to score on the road this season – but having claimed the scalp of Chelsea last month, can Roy Hodgson mastermind another upset? Kick-off is just over half-an-hour away.
It’s been a wonderful start to the season for Spurs, who in addition to sailing through their Champions League group against Real, have only lost twice in the league this year, against Chelsea and Manchester United, the latter coming last weekend. They sit third, behind United and leaders Manchester City as we roll into November – and three points will help Mauricio Pochettino keep up the pressure for top spot during the Christmas run-in.
Spurs are undefeated in four against Palace, having won all games between the two sides since a 2-1 loss at Selhurst Park in January 2015. Their home form is outstanding in London derbies too; since Pochettino joined Spurs in 2014, the Lilywhites have won more home points in such Premier League games than any other side, with 31 and a single loss. In Pochettino’s four home games as manager against Palace, including one with Southampton, he has presided over a watertight ship as well, conceding no goals at all.
The Eagles are on the verge of some unwanted history too; having failed to score in any of the five away Premier League games this season, a lack of goals today would make them only the second side to not net in their first six in a season, following in the footsteps of Derby County, who failed to score in their first eight in the 2007/08 season. Palace have gone 646 minutes now without a goal on the road in the league – since Christian Benteke scored at Liverpool in April
Spurs are yet to win a London derby across all competitions this season having lost both at Wembley – but they will surely feel confident against a Palace defence who have conceded a goal with the first shot of the game no less than four times already this season, versus Burnley, Manchester United, Chelsea and West Ham.
With only a handful of points from his opening games in charge so far, Hodgson knows that the clock is ticking to haul Palace off the foot of the table. The former England manager’s personal record at the national stadium is exemplary – but the same cannot be said for his side’s away form against Spurs, having not scored since a 1-1 draw in December 2004. The only time the Eagles have beaten Tottenham away was at White Hart Lane twenty years ago – a 1-0 win courtesy of a Neil Shipperley goal in November 1997.
It's been far from the the all-conquering show Spurs turned out in midweek - but much of that can be attributed to a clever Palace approach, who have used their minimal ball time to their advantage with a stocky showing in defence. The cracks are starting to show for the Eagles though - but they very much remain in this game against a superior side. Half-time at Wembley, it's Tottenham Hotspur 0-0 Crystal Palace.
Teams are back out and Spurs have made a change - Dembele arrives to take the place of Winks.
No points for Palace in the end - but a tenacious, grippy showing they will be frustrated at to have not come away with at least something. Spurs were wll off the mark compared to midweek - but in the end, a neat strike from Son Heung-Min did the damage for the hosts and gave them their first London Derby win of the season. Full-time at Wembley, it finishes Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Crystal Palace.
Just where do Palace go from here? They at least have a great chance in a fortnight when they face a rudderless Everton, currently second-bottom, to claw some points back - but Roy Hodgson needs to convert the chances into points, unlike today. As for Spurs, they've got two weeks too to recharge over the international break - but then they return for the hotbed of the North London derby when they tangle with Arsenal. Until then though, thank you very much for joining us - and have a great Sunday!
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (4-5-1): Gazzaniga, Sánchez, Rose, Vertonghen, Aurier, Winks, Sissoko, Eriksen, Son Heung-Min, Dier, Kane
